Academic Life

Wellington College Belfast offers a wide range of subjects for all students.

Careers

The world of work is undergoing major change with old jobs disappearing and new opportunities becoming available largely due to the impact of technology and the global market. With these facts in mind we believe that an effective careers and guidance programme is even more crucial for our young people. This view point is clearly supported by CCEA as we see Education for Employability at the heart of the revised Northern Ireland Curriculum and with the new CEIAG guidelines from the Department of Education. The aims of the department have been adapted to meet these new requirements.

Home Economics

Home Economics is a subject through which many skills are developed, particularly the practical skills involved in preparing and cooking food. Emphasis is placed on healthy food choices, diet and health, exploring home and family life and the acquisition of personal skills to become discerning and effective consumers.

Physical Education

The Physical Education Department aims to ensure that each pupil will experience a broad and balanced Physical Education programme, taught in a safe and supportive environment

Chemistry

Chemistry is part of the curriculum at Wellington College and is offered to students for GCSE and A-Level. It is taught as either an individual subject or as part of a general science course (such as Double Award Science).

Science (KS3)

We aim to engage our students in Science both in and outside the classroom. Through exploring scientific concepts with enquiring minds, the students not only further their knowledge and understanding but get involved in competitions, trips, events and explore opportunities which lead to lifelong learning and open doors to science careers.
